Egyptian Arabic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Arabic مَتَاع (matāʕ, “thing, possession”). The initial b- as well as the development of inflections may be due to a merger with the unrelated adjective تَبَع (tabaʕ, “belonging”), which is used as a similar possessive marker in bordering Levantine Arabic; however, they may also have developed independently.
Pronunciation[edit]
